[ADXA] S9OK on RTTY - only 33 NA QSOs

[Sandy Hutson]

The S9OK operation is seldom on RTTY, just 690 QSOs compared to 22,000 on FT8! ☹

Only 33 RTTY Qs with North America and today I felt fortunate to be one of 33 who kept monitoring, looking for spots and then chasing for about 30 minutes on RTTY.  Got them at 1837Z on 20m RTTY. They peaked with 100% copy for about 5-6 minutes. Hard to catch them with propagation into NA on certain bands. 

Much of 60m is done on CW and into EU when no conditions exist to the USA. 40 SSB has been into NA but with many USA daily nets, not possible to copy thru them to S9 or to call S9 without having a dozen guys telling USA stations to QSY off their net frequency.. So far I have barely heard them on 40 SSB and have NOT called at all.  I monitor constantly for 160m CW with my old 80/160 dipole that I re-erected just for the S9OK.

Keep chasing guys, they will be there another 4 full days. 73,
